Sony BRAVIA 9 K65XR90 65"
The Sony Bravia 9 Mini LED TV receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning picture quality, exceptional brightness, and deep black levels that rival OLED. Many users praise its vibrant colors, minimal glare, and excellent gaming performance with 4K 120Hz support. However, a significant number of reviews cite critical issues: audio connectivity problems with soundbars (especially eARC/ARC), power failures and board defects within the first year, and distracting screen reflections or rainbow effects. Reliability concerns and poor Sony customer support are recurring complaints, with some users reporting multiple failures and expensive out-of-warranty repairs.
